Reports

Can you create and save templates for quickly creating future reports?

RE: Reports

Hi Matthew, Thank you for the post, in answer to your question; because the report is dependant upon an underlying query or table, you are restricted in how much you can pre-create, but there is no reason why you should not create a template (blank report) with the appropriate formatting and design (labels) in particular areas which you can then populate with fields when you need to use it. In order to point your 'template' at the right table or query you will need to change its Source in the report properties though. I hope that helps, best regards Pete.
